Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for graphically displaying a sectional image of an object under examination (1, 18) having objects (2, 17) situated therein, in particular for the display of a sectional image of a building wall. The invention provides that the sectional image with the objects (2, 17) situated in the object under examination (1, 18) is displayed already while data acquisition by the position detector (3, 19) is taking place.
Claims23
A method for graphically displaying a sectional image through a building wall under examination having objects situated therein, whereby a position detector captures data of the objects, the data containing depth information of the objects, the depth information being captured automatically by the position detector, an evaluation unit evaluates the data, the objects are electronically displayed within the sectional image through the building wall on a display, the positions of the objects on the display are related to the depth information of the objects, and, whereby the sectional image through the building wall is displayed together with the objects simultaneously while data acquisition by the position detector is taking place.
A position finder for locating objects in a building wall, using a position detector, an evaluation unit connected with the position detector to evaluate position data captured by the position detector, and a graphic display unit, wherein the evaluation unit in combination with the graphic display unit is adapted to reproduce a sectional image through the object under examination with the objects situated therein on the graphic display unit,
- wherein the sectional image through the building wall contains depth information about the objects, and the position of the objects on the display are related to the depth information of the objects, and
- wherein the position detector, the evaluation unit and the display unit are interconnected via a real-time connection in order to enable instantaneous output of the sectional image through the building wall in accordance with the particular position of the position detector.
